I’m hoping they bring back the unlimited mining pick and logging axe as I missed out on those two items and I’m willing to buy gems to get them. Fingers crossed they come out this month.
I think introducing raids could be a good addition as long as they don’t change existing combat mechanics into the trinity and don’t turn it into a gear advantage over others, unless they make it so that if the raid does drop better gear, than that gear is only usable in the raid itself for further raid progression.
This should make people who want raids happy, they also get to experience the joy of gear progression, but doesn’t step on the toes of people who don’t care or like raids/gear treadmills or disadvantaging players outside of raiding content. I think most people could except this.
But ultimately this game was never about raids in the traditional sense of raid style gaming. Guild Wars 2 has done something different and I am thankful for that. It wont appeal to everyone of course. Honestly though, if I really wanted to keep raiding I would just play an existing game that does raiding really well instead of trying to change something else into something it is not. It’s like trying to change a Harley Davidson into a CBR 900 or a Mars Bar into a Snickers. People will like one over the other for different reasons and each of those products cater to their intended market. Each one can be successful without trying to be everything to everyone.

1. From your post, I guess I can gather that you did not like Guild Wars 1.
2. Who the kitten baked potato do you think you are, that you have a higher right to be pleased by this franchise that us?
3. Guild Wars 1 is dead. It was killed by Guild Wars 2. You left us with nothing, for the sake of a slighly upgraded WoW, with some aftertaste of GW here and there.
4. Are you seriously arguing here, while all people were asking for GvG and Guild Houses. Do you hate GvG and Guild Houses? Did you hate them? If not, then repeat to me your problem.
5. I do not think that you have any idea what you are even talking about. I do in fact believe that you have no ability to separate people who are GW1 players and WoW kiddies squeeling for mounts on sight. In fact, I’m beginning to doubt that you did not just pull it out of your kitten that you have ever played Guild Wars 1.
6. This is the internet after all, you only had so say, right? And suddenly aaaal arguments are justifiiiiied.
7. Please, humour me, what are the aspects of Guild Wars 1 that you HATED so much, and which we are requesting right now.
8. Please, list all the things that we want back, and which you HATED.
Let us, and let the devs see all those 3 things that you hated, from our list of 2516.
9. And then let me show you how the addition of 90% of these things will absolutely not change your gameplay experience at all. It will just improve ours.
1. I liked GW1. It’s why I pre ordered GW2 and participated in the BWE.
2. Me being pleased with GW2 and you not has nothing to do with “about whose right it is”. I simply enjoy the game and you don’t. Once again that is personal preference. The fact that you don’t like the game or don’t agree with me is not my problem sorry.
3. Please explain how “I have left you with nothing?” Also your opinion that GW2 is like an upgraded WoW is an opinion you have about GW2 and is not true actually. I mean it doesn’t have raids for a start and I could go on and on about how they are very different.
4a. Nope not arguing. Just being attacked by you because you didn’t agree with my post and feel the need to keep making up stories about me and here I am defending myself. You keep saying things as though the whole community agrees with you and when someone tells you they like the game and defend it, you have to get on your soap box and attack that person.
4b. No I do not hate GvG and Guild Houses. I like them and never said that I didn’t. I would like to see them also. See where this is going? More assumptions on your part. I think Anet will introduce those things but at this point they aren’t a major priority for them and believe they are right and focusing on other more important areas of the game.
5. Another assumption and completely false and made up. I don’t think you know what you are talking about either.
6. Ohh yeah totally man! I totally made it up because you are so important in my life that I feel I had to lie to you about having played GW1.
7. The humor is that I never said that “I hated GW1.” I only suggested that if you like GW1 and don’t like GW2, that wouldn’t it be logical for you to go and play GW1, a game which you ACTUALLY like to play instead of this one?
8. No need to. See 7. You are just making up stories about me. Saying things I never said.
9. I’m not against change and I am happy with what Anet has done so far.
See my original post was about people like you who assume they speak for everyone like its fact when in actuality you only speak for yourself. You never stop to think about anyone else.
You obviously feel that if this game is not changed to suit your vision of the game it is dead/dieing which is not what I see in the game at all. I see a thriving community of gamers who still enjoy this game from my perspective. Its still going strong.
You really need to learn to comprehend what is being said before you reply to people.
What I feel is that the people who are still defending this game (who I also see as a minority, since all my friends and everyone I know have already stopped playing) are the people who never played Guild Wars 1 and the only thing that they are afraid of is Guild Wars 2 becoming another WoW.
We are not really amused by your amusement. You feel improvement from quality0 to quality1, while we started out at quality7 and feel a loss of quality by an ammount of 6. And you are not getting it because you are satisfied with your “improvements” because you are afraid of loosing the litte impriovement that you got. But that little improvement is not an improvement to us, because it only made the game one inch better than the plethorea of games that we did not even have the taste to touch.
I played GW1 for a very long time so your whole post has become an assumption about me or others who enjoy GW2 having not played GW1 and is not correct. You’re exactly the type of person I was talking about in my post. You just make assumptions formed from your own limited perspective and think it applies to me or most people. Your small group of friends left the game so that means the game is in need of major change to what “you” would like it to be and too bad for the rest of us who do like it. Your rating quality scale is laugable and also subjective to you and has nothing to do with anyone else. Something you just pulled out of your kitten and think its fact.
I really could not care if you are not amused about my amusement. I don’t sit their playing GW2 with my rose tinted glasses on wishing it was like gw1. I have a much simpler solution for you to ponder. If you think GW1 is so much better, go re install it and play it instead. It will make you happier.

A point I want to make is I see a lot of people complaining about GW2 on the forums, and the way they present their ideas and complaints is as if they speak for the majority of us playing the game, and that if their own personal list of dislikes isn’t addressed or changed to suit their own desires, it will be the end of gw2.
To be honest if half the things that the minority of the loudest whiners who complain were to get what they wanted implemented into GW2, the game would be a lot worse off for it “in my opinion”. I certainly would not play it if gear treadmills were introduced similar to other games such as WoW. I don’t want to play a WoW clone with better graphics. I want to play GW2 and the way this game is heading, I’m very optimistic for the future and am very happy with the direction GW2 is going at this time.
